Overview
This Danby Designer model packs 4.4 cu ft of refrigeration into a black compact cabinet, built for secondary or small-space use rather than as a family's main fridge.
It runs on R600a refrigerant and is Energy Star compliant, pairing a common compact-fridge shelf layout, two full-width shelves plus one half-width, with integrated door bins sized for tall bottles.
- 4.4 cu ft capacity
- Energy Star compliant, R600a refrigerant
- Automatic defrost
- Integrated door shelving with tall bottle storage
Who it's for
Works for dorm rooms, home offices or as a secondary fridge for drinks and snacks. Not sized for anyone needing freezer space or family-scale grocery storage.
Pros and cons
- Energy Star compliant
- Tall bottle storage in the door
- No freezer compartment
- Limited review history
Performance notes
Automatic defrost handles ice buildup without user intervention, and the adjustable wire shelving lets buyers reconfigure the interior for taller items. The environmentally friendlier R600a refrigerant is now standard across most modern compact fridges in this class.
